Features 5

  • IDEAL FOR SMALL TREE WORK AND GENERAL USE - The 2.25 lb. Dayton-pattern Boys Axe is perfect for felling saplings, limbing branches, bucking logs, and light splitting. This versatile tool is great for outdoor enthusiasts who need a balanced, efficient axe for a range of chopping tasks. Everything is made in the USA.
  • FORGED STEEL HEAD - The 2.25 lb. forged tool STEEL HEAD is hand sharpened with a tapered bit for optimal cutting and light splitting. The hardened bit and poll ensure superior durability, while the forward eye design offers better overall performance for medium/light splitting.
  • HISTORIC DAYTON PATTERN - Originating from Dayton, Ohio, this iconic axe has been upgraded for modern use. The updated design enhances balance by moving the eye forward towards the bit, providing improved accuracy and efficiency, and making it safer to use.
  • STRONG AMERICAN HICKORY HANDLE - The curved hickory handle is carefully dried to below 10% moisture content to reduce shrinkage and prevent loosening. Its securely attached to the head with a traditional double wedge system, ensuring a strong, lasting bond.

Love this axe. Perfect size if you can only have one for general use.
I picked this one reluctantly, since the 28” version was out of stock. I was worried it would be a little too short. I’m 5’8” with longer arms. This turns out to be the perfect size for most every felling, bucking, and splitting task I’ve encountered so far. I live on thirty acres and have no central heat. All the warmth in my house comes from burning wood. This axe has proven up to the task. Granted, I also use a chainsaw for processing wood, but I am very happy with this axe. Handle is finished well and the factory edge got really sharp after a few passes with file and stone. The edge has proven easy to maintain and it has taken a beating. ... show more

I guess I got a bad one...
Council tool has a reputation for producing a quality product. I don't know how the one that I bought thru Amazon managed to get out of the factory! The grain of the handle ran nearly horizontal to the ax head, a break waiting to happen! Then to make things worse, the ax was visibly off center. I returned it immediately without ever swinging it once! It was a dangerous ax. Long story short I then went to a reputable dealer and received a top notch beautiful ax from council tool. I'll never buy anything from that Amazon store again. Period. Less than 1 star! ... show more

Handle length isn’t measured like sledge hammers
The actual length of handle is 20.5”. Probably would make for a good camp axe. Short enough to fit in a backpack and climb a tree with, but not long enough to take full swings driving wedges or felling a decent size tree.

Quality Axe that is perfect size for 13yo at camp
Much easier for my 13yo to handle than the standard 4lb axe. The axe head is looks very well made and holds a great edge. Fits well in our camping gear.

Solid
Everything heard about Council Tool is the truth. Ecstatic with this axe. Delivered sharp.

Handles perfectly
Useful in taking out small limbs and deadwood

Factory Rejects
The axe I got was definitely a factory reject. The handle wood grain was nearly perpendicular to the ax head. The ax handle was off center in the ax head. The ax edge was far to the left of center. Very dangerous ax! Buyer beware. Returned immediately.

Very handy
It's a bit awkward when you have only used a standard size axe before. This size is perfect for camping and tight spaces. Much better than a hatchet.
